Intel to debut new chip for four-processor servers

C|Net is reporting that Intel is set to debut new Xeons for four-processor servers today.

The chip, a member of the Gallatin family, will run at 3 gigahertz and include 4 megabytes of Level 3 cache, according to sources. Current Gallatin chips top out at 2.8GHz and have 2MB of cache.

The new Intel chip will not include the 64-bit extensions announced in February. Those will first appear in Nocona, a Xeon for single and two-way servers.

Potomac, the successor to Gallatin coming next year, will be the first Xeon for four-processor servers to have this capability...

We've been wanting to test a quad box for quite sometime... maybe this time Intel will be kind enough to hook us up. Check it out.
